Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in the application of biologically-inspired algorithms to business problems. Applications of neural networks and evolutionary algorithms have become common. However, as yet there have been few applications of artificial immune systems (AIS), algorithms that are inspired by the workings of the natural immune system. The natural immune system can be considered as a distributed, self-organizing, classification system that operates in a dynamic environment. The mechanisms of natural immune systems, including their ability to distinguish between self and non-self, provides a rich metaphorical inspiration for the design of pattern-recognition algorithms. This chapter introduces AIS and provides an example of how an immune algorithm can be used to develop a classification system for predicting corporate failure. The developed system displays good classification accuracy out-of-sample, up to two years prior to failure.

Abstract This study provides information on artificial immune systems. The artificial immune system is an adaptive computational system that uses models, principles, mechanisms and functions to describe and solve the problems in theoretical immunology. Its application in various fields of science is explored. The theory of natural immune systems and the key features and algorithms of artificial immune system are analyzed. The advantages and disadvantages of protection systems based on artificial immune systems are shown. The methods for malicious software detection are studied. Some works in the field of artificial immune systems are analyzed, and the problems to be solved are identified. A new algorithm is developed for the application of Bayesian method in software using artificial immune systems, and experiments are implemented. The results of the experiment are estimated to be good. The advantages and disadvantages of AIS were shown. To eliminate the disadvantages, perfect AISs should be developed to enable the software more efficient and effective.

The field of biologically inspired computing has generated many novel, interesting and useful computational systems. None of these systems alone is capable of approaching the level of behaviour for which the artificial intelligence and robotics communities strive. We suggest that it is now time to move on to integrating a number of these approaches in a biologically justifiable way. To this end we present a conceptual framework that integrates artificial neural networks, artificial immune systems and a novel artificial endocrine system. The natural counterparts of these three components are usually assumed to be the principal actors in maintaining homeostasis within biological systems. This chapter proposes a system that promises to capitalise on the self-organising properties of these artificial systems to yield artificially homeostatic systems. The components develop in a common environment and interact in ways that draw heavily on their biological counterparts for inspiration. A case study is presented, in which aspects of the nervous and endocrine systems are exploited to create a simple robot controller. Mechanisms for the moderation of system growth using an artificial immune system are also presented.

In particular, models had only one type of cages , they applied V-lymphocytes. The distribution and a decentralization were the second feature for using artificial immune systems. This article is devoted to creation the artificial immune system (AIS), the creation model and algorithm of IIS is considered. The model for realization of a problem is consid-ered. Accuracy of calculations is compared to other methods, especially to neural networks. The structure of a program complex is described.

The field of Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) concerns the study and development of computationally interesting abstractions of the immune system. This survey tracks the development of AIS since its inception, and then attempts to make an assessment of its usefulness, defined in terms of ‘distinctiveness’ and ‘effectiveness.’ In this paper, the standard types of AIS are examined—Negative Selection, Clonal Selection and Immune Networks—as well as a new breed of AIS, based on the immunological ‘danger theory.’ The paper concludes that all types of AIS largely satisfy the criteria outlined for being useful, but only two types of AIS satisfy both criteria with any certainty.

This paper presents an approach for solving unknown computer viruses detection problem based on the Artificial Immune System (AIS) method, where immune detectors represented neural networks. The AIS is the biologically-inspired technique which have powerful information processing capabilities that makes it attractive for applying in computer security systems. Computer security systems based on AIS principles allow detect unknown malicious code. In this work we are describing model build on the AIS approach in which detectors represent the Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) neural networks. Basic principles of the biological immune system (BIS) and comparative analysis of unknown computer viruses detection for different antivirus software and our model are presented.

This chapter aims to review the state of the art in algorithms of multiobjective optimization with artificial immune systems (MOAIS). As it will be focused in the chapter, Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) have some intrinsic characteristics which make them well suited as multiobjective optimization algorithms. Following this basic idea, different implementations have been proposed in the literature. This chapter aims to provide a thorough review of the literature on multiobjective optimization algorithms based on the emulation of the immune system.

SummaryThe immune system is an impressive information processing system with many appealing properties for solving problems. Artificial immune systems are a paradigm inspired by the immune system and are used for solving computational and information processing problems. In this paper, we outline two different immune-inspired approaches typically used for IT-security problems. Specifically, we present one of the first proposed immune inspired approaches for network intrusion detection, this is then complimented with an overview of recent investigations on the latest immunological theories and how they may be exploited in IT-security. We then present an artificial immune system concept for database security which encompasses issues such as confidentiality of database information and prevention of privacy-preserving data mining.
